In 'Essay on Lucidity', José Saramago presents us with an intriguing situation during municipal elections in a nameless city, where the majority of the inhabitants decide to exercise their right to vote in an unexpected way. This gesture, interpreted by the government as a threat to democracy, triggers a series of events in which anonymous citizens demonstrate great moral stature in defending their freedom. Saramago, recognized for his lucidity and criticism of power, invites us to reflect on the importance of individuality and the ability to change the world.
José Saramago was a Portuguese writer who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998. His allegorical work, written in a prose that breaks typographic conventions, is one of the most acclaimed in contemporary European literature.
